By a fucking lot. He weighed 197 for his first ever 185lbs fight. How in the hell did this guy ever make 170?
Utterly bizarre. I know him making 170 seemed crazy but still, how does he go from 170 to 197? Did he think by moving up he could just like, put in no effort at all to cutting weight? ::
Yep, which most likely means it's canceled. If he cut weight to get to 197, he is going to weigh a lot more tomorrow. If by some miracle he stays under 205, he's going to have nothing left, without a full day to rehydrate.
Maybe he's pulling a Castillo and not bothering to make weight so he can be the stronger guy come fight night?
Rumble Johnson is Quickly Morphing Into the "Joan Guzman of MMA"...A Guy w/Obvious POTENTIAL who Lacks the DISCIPLINE to Ever Fulfill that Potential... REED:shit:
Maybe you're right, just too weird otherwise. Not being able to make 170 is to be expected, but 30 pounds more? 30 fucking pounds? That's 2 weight divisions ::
Well, hell, sure he missed weight before when he was trying to make 170 so it's a lot different than missing weight by 12 pounds trying to make 185. It is so bizarre. Belfort is crazy to go thru with the fight even IF Johnson is under 205 tomorrow. I just watched the weigh-in and Johnson looked great and huge. He dwarfed Vitor. If this fight comes off, Johnson will dominate Vitor with wrestling and top control. There is no way Vitor wins unless Johnson collapses. Unreal. Anyone ever seen a fighter miss weight by so much. By the way, you can get this event Free via XBOX if download the app and order right now....
In watching the weigh-in Johnson didn't look the least bit drained. Something tells me that he knew early on that he wasn't going to make it and just decided to come in under 205.
I guess what happened is he was close to making weight and got sick from cutting too much weight and was given IV fluids just hours before the weigh in by the doctors because he couldn't cut anymore and it was getting dangerous.
